We got it.

Welcome to our community! To help you fully understand our teaching methods and confidently support your child's learning during their two home days, we ask that you read one of the following books before classes begin.

Option A: For the Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay. This is a highly accessible, gentle introduction to the Charlotte Mason philosophy. Please note that it reflects a slightly more casual approach to the method than what we practice at our School.

Option B: When Children Love to Learn, edited by Elaine Cooper. This is an excellent choice for parents who want a deep, comprehensive dive into the exact Charlotte Mason education model.
